Unable To Open My Eyes
Behind closed doors lurks a different monster
Not the one that’s portrayed on every livestream
Playing off this charade that’s been getting over
Moving forward with the logistics of the scheme
Heartless in the belief of satisfying his shallow ego
We’re all human pawns on a maniacal chessboard
Plotting how to conquer and slay every single rival
Every attempt at peace will be maliciously ignored
Loyalty is rewarded while the insubordinate suffer
Transparent souls are met with an untimely demise
Brutal stench of death abominates a...

In My Dreams
I see you running in my nightmares
You try to hide but I will find you
I toss and turn in my sleep
As I hold this dagger and gently weep
I don't know why I dream this
I don't know why I see this
I don't know why I miss this
No god can help me with this
Please.... Please... Please...
Somebody... Help me
I see you dying in my dreams
As I take your life tonight
You will suffer and I will win
Now I live with this sin
I wish this was someone else
But I cannot help what I truly desire
I just wanted you...
You try to hide but I will find you
I toss and turn in my sleep
As I hold this dagger and gently weep
I don't know why I dream this
I don't know why I see this
I don't know why I miss this
No god can help me with this
Please.... Please... Please...
Somebody... Help me
I see you dying in my dreams
As I take your life tonight
You will suffer and I will win
Now I live with this sin
I wish this was someone else
But I cannot help what I truly desire
I just wanted you...

Lost Traveler
Let's pretend
I traveled over a bend
I went back in time
For no reason or rhyme
To be caught and tried
For someone else's lie
My sentence was death
Uttered under someone's breath
I will not go easy into the night
Once the moon is full I will see the whole site
There are men, women, children and aged souls
All out to see the penalty dolled
I'll be the last to go
Making me witness this horrible show
One was...

alone with the dark
i lie awake & silently scream at night
the dark crowds in
with violent whispers
i see my flaws
they converge on me
& surround my trembling soul
they're the monsters
i carry in the day
concealed under
well applied makeup
& my smiling face
if people looked closer
they would see
the cracks in my veneer
i've slipped sideways
in my thoughts
the fall is coming
i feel it
i walk a fine line

go back to sleep...
when the nightmares fade
and the fog of time settles in
like an old patchwork quilt
scraps of the past stitched together
in some haphazard kinda manner
blanketing history with a groggy me
muffling the internal screams
until I'm finally able to sleep
unsettled...twitchy...a little uneasy...
but desperate for a respite
a moment's unblemished peace
I lay tensed in a compact ball
occupying the least required space
waiting for sandman's call

Prince Of Darkness
I smoke in ways in purple haze
You are on my blacklist
Phase by phase, I'll set ablaze
Firing up this red mist
I'll watch you cry through haunted eyes
The dark has turned you into
Ashes die, you've broken ties
I really fuckin' hate you
You are on my blacklist
Phase by phase, I'll set ablaze
Firing up this red mist
I'll watch you cry through haunted eyes
The dark has turned you into
Ashes die, you've broken ties
I really fuckin' hate you

Adrenaline
it started in 2013
seven weeks of
horrible stress
painful losses
no deep sleep
a broken doll
functioning on
just adrenaline
trying to survive
feeling helpless
utterly restless
she didn't fade
this razor blade
got more powers
as years went by
she causes me to
wake up at night
i'm tired & wired
need some sleep
i'm done with this
exhausting tornado
fucking adrenal fatigue
seven weeks of
horrible stress
painful losses
no deep sleep
a broken doll
functioning on
just adrenaline
trying to survive
feeling helpless
utterly restless
she didn't fade
this razor blade
got more powers
as years went by
she causes me to
wake up at night
i'm tired & wired

Bibi and Biden
The conservative hand has made it clear,
with Genocide Joe and Genocide Jew,
that their bombs don't give a shit who is who
in any young family fleeing in fear.
But Bibi and Biden are not the same.
One loves the bombs much more than the other,
to murder folks with an Arabic name
as Semite brother on Semite brother!
No longer caring when targets are dead
and by detonations reduced to paste
not even considered medical waste
but a rusty stain, (where once was a head),
provided by some weapon crafty Yanks... ...

empty night
That's how I did it to you
very slowly
without rambling
That's how I did it
calmly
with an open hand for you
That everything, like this, without end
no return
no sleep, no sleep, no sleep
all night without sleep
without the blessing of silence
in the palms of my hands
What everything, like this, like this, like this
like the spinning of a top
that comes to an end
sleepless, like this, sleepless, like this
without rambling
very slowly
That's always how I did it
without knowing what I was doing ...

habits die harder in nightmares
It was like one of those
cigarette dreams where you smoke
(or drink or break your
sobriety)
and get pissed at
yourself
but do it anyway
Filthy habits always seem
to die
harder in dreams
So it was with us
last night
We stood on
opposite sides
of a cursed door
foreheads pressed
eyes closed
palms flat
as if we could
transmogrify
the sick regret
to anything
anything
